#美联储重启降息步伐 Lately, a lot of people have been asking: If you’re holding 10,000 in principal, is it possible to turn it into 1,000,000?

To be honest, there are actually ways to do this. I’ve seen two strategies, both pretty extreme but absolutely real.

Let’s talk about the one that sounds the simplest and most straightforward—find two 10x coins. Turn 10,000 into 100,000, then 100,000 into 1,000,000, that’s the math. But here’s the catch: you’d have to repeat those profitable trades at different scales at least a hundred times. Sounds easy, but in reality, you’re fighting probability, timing, and your own psychological challenges.

But if you ask me, I actually prefer another path: compound rolling.

A lot of people get scared when they hear about compounding, thinking the risk is off the charts. But think rationally for a second—how do people really blow up their accounts? For example, say you open a position in Bitcoin at $10,000, using isolated margin mode, 10x leverage, but only use 10% of your funds as margin—so 5,000. This is basically like 1x leverage. Set a 2% stop-loss, and your max loss is 1,000. Even if you get liquidated, you only lose that 5,000 margin—how could you possibly lose everything?

On the flip side, what if you’re right? Bitcoin rises to 11,000, and you add another 10% of your total funds as margin, still protecting with a 2% stop-loss. Even if you get stopped out here, you’ve already made 8% profit. Push it further, and when BTC hits 15,000, you could make around 200,000 from this 50% move. Catch two such opportunities and hitting 1,000,000 is no longer a dream.

But the core of compounding isn’t frequent trading—it’s patience.

You have to wait for those moments with extremely high certainty: after a crash, a period of sideways consolidation, then a breakout upwards. These trend reversal points only happen a few times a year, if that. The rest of the time, just play small positions; don’t always go all-in. Successfully compound three or four times, and you’ll reach the threshold of a whole new level.

Once you’re at the 1,000,000 level, even without leverage, a 20% gain in spot nets you 200,000—that’s already more than most people’s annual income cap. At that point, your mindset will settle down, your logic will be clearer, and what comes after is just copy-paste.

Remember this: only roll long—don’t try to fight the trend.

Risk management, at the end of the day, means recognizing the size of the opportunity. You can’t just stay low-exposure forever, but you also can’t always be stressed out going heavy. When the big opportunity comes, that’s when you act. If you miss it, don’t stress, because in your whole life, you only need to catch a few of these.
